I have a question that is asking:
-List the max sales for each year?
I think I have the starter query but I can't figure out how to get all the years in my answer:
SELECT TO_CHAR(stockdate,'YYYY') AS year, sales
FROM sample_newbooks
WHERE sales = (SELECT MAX(sales) FROM sample_newbooks);
This query gives me the year with the max sales. I need max sales for EACH year. Thanks for your help!
Use group by
and max
if all you need is year and max sales of the year.
select
to_char(stockdate, 'yyyy') year,
max(sales) sales
from sample_newbooks
group by to_char(stockdate, 'yyyy')
If you need rows with all the columns with max sales for the year, you can use window function row_number:
select
*
from (
select
t.*,
row_number() over (partition by to_char(stockdate, 'yyyy') order by sales desc) rn
from sample_newbooks t
) t where rn = 1;
If you want to get the rows with ties on sales, use rank
:
select
*
from (
select
t.*,
rank() over (partition by to_char(stockdate, 'yyyy') order by sales desc) rn
from sample_newbooks t
) t where rn = 1;
